(UNDATED) - Every summer since 1970, the Indiana State Police has offered law enforcement summer camps for Hoosier youth. To date, more than 45,000 young Hoosiers have been afforded the opportunity to spend face time with law enforcement officers in a positive environment.
Countless camp graduates have gone on to careers in law enforcement and other related fields. In fact, many of the camp graduates go on to be adult camp counselors, after they begin their law enforcement careers.
The camps are designed to help students get an up close and personal view of law enforcement and the criminal justice system, but more importantly, gain respect for themselves and others. This is all done through programs that reward hard work, dedication and team work.
The camps always include demonstrations by Indiana State Police SWAT, Explosive Ordinance Disposal, Scuba and other specialty teams. Troopers volunteer to put on demonstrations on a variety of topics. The ca mp staffs are handpicked law enforcement personnel who dedicate their time to preparing youth for their futures.
The Indiana Troopers Youth Services schedule for the 46th year of summer camp programs is complete. Coordinated by the Indiana Troopers Youth Services organization, the camps will be staffed by Indiana State Police officers and officers from other law enforcement organizations.
The 2016 Camp Schedule is as follows:
The Law camps will have two locations:
The Career Camps cover grades 9 -12 with three locations:
